:10:18. > :10:20.appointment with a GP if yot live in Bristol, South Gloucestershhre or
:10:21. > :10:23.North Somerset. Some surgerhes are taking part in a pilot schele which

:10:27. > :10:31.Michelle Ruminski reports, not everyone's convinced it'll work

:10:37. > :10:40.get that appointment. When xou feel unwell and you want to see ` doctor
:10:41. > :10:44.as soon as possible. Today, the Government has ghven a
:10:45. > :10:47.consortium of surgeries in the West almost ?3 million pounds to improve
:10:48. > :10:53.access to GPs across the wedk. This could mean getting a phone or Skype
:10:54. > :10:57.consultation instead. The m`in thrust is about advancing gdneral
:10:58. > :11:00.practice, about GP records, using them wisely, and working together
:11:01. > :11:05.and developing services across a wider footprint. If your surgery is
:11:06. > :11:09.taking part in the pilot, from July you could see a GP between 6.30 and
:11:10. > :11:14.8pm on weekday evenings or from 8am to 8pm on the weekend. But ht won't
:11:15. > :11:19.necessarily be your GP, or dven one at your surgery. The big ch`nge is
:11:20. > :11:23.the GP will have access to xour medical notes. And whenever you call
:11:24. > :11:27.your surgery, you're being promised someone will always pick up the
:11:28. > :11:30.phone. The Government is hahling the announcement as a triumph for those
:11:31. > :11:34."hardworking people" that nded to see their GP. The British Mddical
:11:35. > :11:43.Association has warned extended hours are not going to last. GP
:11:44. > :11:46.surgeries already are overstretched. It is quite difficult to get an
:11:47. > :11:51.appointment as quickly as wd would like to offer. This pilot does not
:11:52. > :11:58.address that issue. In fact, it will probably result in GPs provhding
:11:59. > :12:02.care more fiddly seven days a week. We need to be very careful `nd use
:12:03. > :12:05.what is a scarce resource whsely to make sure it focuses on pathents
:12:06. > :12:09.with the most need. You'll only notice a difference if your GP
:12:10. > :12:12.practice is one of the 24 strgeries initially taking part in thd
:12:13. > :12:15.year`long pilot. As to whether the idea catches on afterwards depends
:12:16. > :12:20.on who's willing to fund it and whether there are enough doctors to
:12:21. > :12:23.sustain it. The message frol the One Care Consortium is that the benefits
:12:24. > :12:32.of an improved phone servicd and a shared computer system will be felt
:12:33. > :12:36.for many years to come. He began his trade here in Bristol,
:12:37. > :12:39.and since then, he's become one of the most well known and lauded

:12:44. > :12:46.that's appeared on the side of a house in Cheltenham? We've sent our
:12:47. > :12:54.Gloucestershire reporter Stdve Knibbs to find out if it is the real
:12:55. > :12:58.thing or a mere imitation. In the early hours of Sundax
:12:59. > :13:03.morning, on a once insignifhcant wall, three secret agents appeared
:13:04. > :13:08.listening into the phone box. A nod to recent allegations against nearby
:13:09. > :13:13.GCHQ. And with rumours that this is Banksy's return to the UK, the new
:13:14. > :13:20.role has drawn huge crowds. It is amazing and we are so lucky to have
:13:21. > :13:29.something like the sea. You see it in Bristol, and to me, it is great.
:13:30. > :13:35.It is fantastic. It would bd lovely to know if it is a Banksy and
:13:36. > :13:41.whether it can be proved or not Roger Gould was jogging past the
:13:42. > :13:45.scene on Sunday. I saw a tent over the telephone box, rectangular tent
:13:46. > :13:51.with her van in front of it and a chap standing who was probably a
:13:52. > :13:54.lookout. By CCTV, this is what is thought to be the van pilling up.
:13:55. > :14:00.Could this be Banksy on his assistants? This Cheltenham artist
:14:01. > :14:09.is convinced. The execution of it, the van, the painting, the painting
:14:10. > :14:19.itself, it is the style of his. But what about expats in Bristol? ``
:14:20. > :14:24.expats. You can see the people from GCHQ listening into the teldphone
:14:25. > :14:29.box and he has also used thd street furniture quite intelligently.
:14:30. > :14:34.Because of the obvious reference to GCHQ, I spoke to the press for ``
:14:35. > :14:38.press office and agency this morning and they said it is the first time
:14:39. > :14:42.they have been asked to spe`k on art. They said that if people are
:14:43. > :14:45.interested, they can go to their website to see what modern`day
:14:46. > :14:48.intelligence operatives look like, but that the public might bd
:14:49. > :14:53.disappointed by the lack of black glasses and trench coats. There are
:14:54. > :14:56.lots of reasons why this cotld be a genuine Banksy and up until now the

:15:42. > :15:44.Damian Derrick was there. Marked down on the calendar months

:16:11. > :16:15.Bath, they are desperate to stay in the top four and get their first win
:16:16. > :16:19.here for several years. Passions were high in the stands and on the
:16:20. > :16:23.pitch. Gloucester edged the penalty count at the break to lead 8`6 while
:16:24. > :16:27.Bath lacked discipline. Then it was the turn of the home side ` Puafasi
:16:28. > :16:31.the first to go. Bath took `dvantage as Hooper went over and thex took
:16:32. > :16:34.the lead. The Cherry and Whhtes then hit back through Trinder and the tie
:16:35. > :16:37.looked theirs. But under prdssure Gloucester succumbed ` two players
:16:38. > :16:42.sin`binned before conceding a late penalty try. And the disappointment
:16:43. > :16:50.of defeat proved too much for scrum`half Tavis Knoyle, and he saw
:16:51. > :16:54.red too. We had done enough to win the game at the end of the day. We
:16:55. > :17:01.were disciplined, but then there was those red cards. The refered called
:17:02. > :17:08.the game. Simple. We all make mistakes, but Gloucester ain't good
:17:09. > :17:11.enough. It is big from the club s point of view because we haven't won
:17:12. > :17:15.here since 2006 in the leagte. It is big because it is another four
:17:16. > :17:20.points and we are looking to finish in the top four. A target m`de

:17:26. > :17:31.Beating Wasps on Saturday at Twickenham is a must.
:17:32. > :17:34.As the football season nears its close, it's crunch time for clubs in
:17:35. > :17:37.promotion or relegation fights. Yeovil Town are in the drop zone of
:17:38. > :17:41.the Championship but Bristol Rovers are battling to avoid falling out of
:17:42. > :17:44.the Football League altogether for the first time in their history
:17:45. > :17:48.They lost at the weekend but it s still in their hands. Well, with me
:17:49. > :17:53.now is former Rovers captain Vaughan Jones. As a player, what's ht like
:17:54. > :17:59.at this stage of the season? There's four games to go, near the danger
:18:00. > :18:03.zone, but you're currently safe It is not very nice. The presstre was
:18:04. > :18:07.building up. The more they lose the more the pressure builds upon the
:18:08. > :18:10.players and manager. Just try to be positive. They cannot changd what
:18:11. > :18:16.has happened so they have to be positive. Let's look at the table as
:18:17. > :18:20.it stands. Four games to go and Rovers are just four places above
:18:21. > :18:24.the drop zone. It is in thehr own hands. If they win all their games,
:18:25. > :18:30.they will be safe. That is right. We have to look forward, not b`ck. It
:18:31. > :18:37.is massive, with the bigger picture and ground at the club. It hs not
:18:38. > :18:44.have to be pretty, just win. What about the pressure on a man`ger
:18:45. > :18:51.Does his demeanour changed now? He tries to keep it nice and cool, but
:18:52. > :18:53.I'm sure he is feeling it. The manager that Chamakh Rovers, am not
:18:54. > :18:57.sure if he has been in this situation before. We will fhnd it a
:18:58. > :19:02.lot about him and the next couple of games and his players. Darrdll
:19:03. > :19:07.Clarke said he was disappointed and wants to see more fight. We need
:19:08. > :19:12.from the characters out there. We have had a positive week in
:19:13. > :19:15.training. That is OK, but when you cross that white line, we nded
:19:16. > :19:22.players to step up to the plate We have to rebuild. Football c`n change
:19:23. > :19:27.quickly. We have two games hn three days and we need to pick up the
:19:28. > :19:30.points we need. Will there be extra pressure with that new stadhum and
:19:31. > :19:38.they have to fill it and fund it and play in it? Maybe, I am surd they
:19:39. > :19:43.feel it. But from that perspective, they do have the best ground in the
:19:44. > :19:46.conference. `` they do not want to have the best ground in the
:19:47. > :19:52.conference. Let's look at the run`in. They have Portsmouth away,
:19:53. > :19:59.then their home, away, and home for the last game. Can they avohd
:20:00. > :20:03.relegation? Definitely. For cup finals, they just have to go for it
:20:04. > :20:06.and avoid it. There was good news today for
:20:07. > :20:09.supporters of the game of pdtanque in our region. The City of Bath
:20:10. > :20:13.Petanque Club has secured over ?23,000 in National Lottery funding
:20:14. > :20:21.from Sport England as part of the Olympic legacy. The club currently
:20:22. > :20:24.play on pistes, as they're called, in parks across the city. The new
:20:25. > :20:30.money will help give them a permanent base at Larkhall Sports
:20:31. > :20:33.Club with brand new facilithes. The game is very accessible. Yot do not
:20:34. > :20:37.have to be particularly sporty to play it and this funding will help
:20:38. > :20:41.us open up the sport to people from all sectors of the communitx in
:20:42. > :20:49.Bath. All ages, all levels of ability `` al levels of ability and
:20:50. > :20:52.that is exciting for us. An appeal is being launched over a
:20:53. > :20:56.decision to refuse Bath Rugby Club extra land to expand its st`dium on
:20:57. > :20:59.the Rec. The club wants to hncrease capacity to take a further 4,00
:21:00. > :21:03.people on match days. Last lonth Bath was told it wouldn't bd allowed
:21:04. > :21:05.to increase its footprint. The decision's been called "fin`ncially
:21:06. > :21:09.unhelpful" and "restrictive" by the Recreation Ground Trust which looks
:21:10. > :21:10.after the day to day running of the land.
:21:11. > :21:13.And finally from me: commisdrations to Clifton Ladies hockey te`m who
:21:14. > :21:17.lost their play`off matches this weekend and miss out on the European
:21:18. > :21:23.club championships. Bad luck, ladies.
:21:24. > :21:30.The baton just reminded you to summer. `` that just reminddd you it
:21:31. > :21:33.was summer. There are maps that show yot who
:21:34. > :21:36.owns what. Maps that outlind geology, maps distorted to lake an
:21:37. > :21:40.underground network easier to use. In the digital age, maps now tell
:21:41. > :21:45.you how to get from A to B `nd what B will look like when you gdt there,
:21:46. > :21:48.so why would a Bristol artist spend more than three years hand`drawing a
:21:49. > :21:51.map of the city that isn't to scale and isn't geographically accurate?
:21:52. > :21:59.Here's Jules Hyam. What exactly is it that makds a map
:22:00. > :22:06.a map? This is one. So is this. But what about this? It's not scale and
:22:07. > :22:18.it's got some bits missing. It is clearly Bristol, but is a m`p? It's
:22:19. > :22:21.a mind map. It is a map of `ll my experiences and things that have
:22:22. > :22:27.gone on the last couple of xears. And the landmarks that we commonly
:22:28. > :22:33.share. It is a map of some sort I would not rely on it to navhgate
:22:34. > :22:38.your way around Philly, but it certainly could help you. This isn't
:22:39. > :22:41.about how Bristol is laid ott so much as about how it feels. It's a
:22:42. > :22:50.very personal but very recognisable representation of the city. A lot
:22:51. > :22:53.comes from personal experience. Over the last three and a half ydars I
:22:54. > :22:59.will have been travelling around Bristol, going to bars and cafes,
:23:00. > :23:03.talking to locals. One of the main ways I do it is re`occurring themes.
:23:04. > :23:08.But I think something is quhte cool, I will verify that with the people
:23:09. > :23:12.of Bristol and people I know, and it will appear, most of the tile. It's
:23:13. > :23:20.taken around 500 hours over a three and a half year period. Every inch
:23:21. > :23:28.of it drawn by hand. These `re my pens. They are really nice, unique,
:23:29. > :23:36.architectural pens. I draw stick onto the board. `` straight on to
:23:37. > :23:39.the board. It is a case of what you feel on the day. Some days xou do
:23:40. > :23:43.not feel so confident about what you're doing and you do not always
:23:44. > :23:49.go as fast as you can. It is the same of drawing `` as drawing. Nine
:23:50. > :23:54.times out of ten, I will just put ink down to the page. But there is
:23:55. > :23:58.one bit of the page that hasn't yet seen any of the pens, and that is
:23:59. > :24:01.where you come in, because Gareth is asking for inspiration. What do you

:24:13. > :24:16.What a challenge that was. Beautiful, isn't it? You cotld

:24:37. > :24:39.Yes, ozone is of course one of the things that protects us high up in
:24:40. > :24:43.the atmosphere from the ultraviolet that reaches us down here. What has
:24:44. > :24:47.happened is over the winter, sunlight, which is one of the main
:24:48. > :24:54.producers of ozone, has been at all levels. You get low amounts of Ozil
:24:55. > :24:58.and there. These pockets of ozone truth South wants to our latitude.
:24:59. > :25:01.It is not unusual that we gdt these anomalies of low amounts of ozone
:25:02. > :25:05.overhead and, consequently, stronger sunshine. There have been pdople
:25:06. > :25:11.sunbathing and evil might h`ve been rather read `` and some people might

:25:30. > :25:35.apart, sitting out across the top of us. That will drift eastwards.
:25:36. > :25:38.Through the course of tomorrow, the flow and winds will be coming in
:25:39. > :25:44.from the south, not from a northerly quarter. That means that sottherly
:25:45. > :25:48.districts, such as parts of Dorset, will see slightly lower
:25:49. > :25:52.temperatures. Those of you `way from that direction, like the North
:25:53. > :25:56.Somerset coast, will see higher temperature is. It will be beautiful
:25:57. > :26:01.in Weston`super`Mare tomorrow. It'll quite chilly quite readily which
:26:02. > :26:04.will lead us into a cold night under clear skies. Under these
